some of you may have noticed that I've been quiet for a few days, and you're quite correct: I've been covering a music festival called London Calling in Paradiso, Amsterdam for a Dutch music site called Fileunder:New Music. LC pretends to be a BritPop genre oriented festival, which showcases (mostly) unbroken bands who often are on their first foreign tour.

it was pretty hard work to get as many bands in as my friends and I did and boy at the end of the last day I was knackered! still...

well I've been hitting the bike of late and I thought I'd give you an update as to results.

Yesterday, after watching Watchmen, I was in my fave pub with a mate and at that moment I conceived the distilled awesome that is the Boy-Flick. Everyone knows what a chick-flick is right? That thing that teh wimmins -yes that means you- tend to make us blokes watch now and again to punish us for forgetting to do the dishes, cleaning out the cat along with the cat litter or accidentally leaving little Jimmy at school for three days.

Just to get you into the spirit of things....usually...
